This man was none other than the one Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan had encountered at home earlier.
Although she could only see his back, having just seen him and recognizing his outfit made it easy for Qiu Ruoxi to identify him.
"Girl, who else do you think he could be?" the man said casually. "But you have quite a sharp tongue, thanking them earlier, and now you're cursing them directly."
"They were guarding my mother-in-law's grave; I should be grateful," Qiu Ruoxi said seriously. "Even if they leave now, I should treat them as honored guests, even benefactors, when we meet again!"
"But they blocked me from paying my respects to my mother-in-law. It's their lack of human understanding, forcing a child to be unable to fulfill their filial duty, thus becoming enemies…"
"So, are they benefactors or enemies?" the man asked softly.
"Both a benefactor and an enemy!" Qiu Ruoxi declared firmly. "If they let me through, it would be a great favor!"
